I wonder if Roy or anyone else remembers the debate more than six years ago about Mr and Mrs. Elliott is left and is >gone to the skarnook. It appeared in a letter I think. Well guess what, I reckon Roy was exactly right, it was or is a place in Roberton - Scotlandspeople has a will listed for Elliot John 26/09/1888 Scarnook, Parish of Roberton, d. 25/08/1888 at Scarnook, testate Selkirk Sheriff Court SC63/34/20 From what I remember the letter was dated in the 1840s so Next stop the 1851 census on Ancestry, where there is an Elliot family at "Scaurnook". In 1871 it is Scarenerk. Judy

Changes in names of places make us more than a little crazy. Looks like public ennumerators living there would know how the place was spelled. Perhaps not.
